There sometimes seems to be a war or an evolutionary struggle between device screens and screen protector makers. Back in the early days of Palm PDA’s, the screens were rather soft and you used a plastic stylus to write on them. They scratched easily so most of us used and recommended screen protectors. Store bought, home-made,

When you travel, you need to take support gear for the gadget you carry – chargers, sync cables, and maybe even a backup battery. All this stuff takes up a lot of room and adds a lot of weight to your carry-on bag. The Cellink I will help you reduce the amount you carry for

I was walking through an electronics store the other day when I just happened to see the above case in a markdown bin. It’s an Acer foldable case stand for their Acer A500/101 (Barcode: 4717276489618). Now the Acer Iconias just happens to be about the same size as my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, so I tried

I am a bag-aholic. Somewhere deep in my reptile brain I seem to be convinced that if I find just the right bag, I can get perfectly organized and my life will make sense. OK, so far that has never happened, but the Ogio Renegade RSS backpack has come closer to my ideal than any

After using the Grace Digital Mondo Wi-Fi Music Player and Internet Radio for a few months, I have come to one conclusion: Anyone looking for a portable radio today and does not choose an internet radio is wasting money. There, that’s the review. I’m done.

When you’ve been doing the review gig for as long as I have (15yrs this month!), it takes a special product to make my eyes light up. Recently Kyle of Canadian based Keyway Designs sent me an email asking if he could send me a sample of one of their wood backboards for the iPhone. I

USB flash drives are crazy useful. I use them regularly with my IT job at Cummins. Typically I keep one in a zippered Waterfield pouch in my Timbuk2 messenger bag. That usually works out fine and dandy, but sometimes I forget to put it in my pocket and have to run back to my desk

Do you use your iPad for taking notes for classes or business meetings? If the answer is yes, do you use an on-screen keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard, or stylus? Typing on the on-screen keyboard can be too slow for efficient notes, and using a Bluetooth keyboard means you probably need some sort of desk to set

If you don’t need a laptop bag that’s big enough to live out of, you could just use a simple laptop sleeve. If you’d like a smaller laptop bag that still has some room for your phone, an external drive, cables, chargers, and just a few other things, you might like the 15″ Laptop Slipcase

Bumper style “cases” are a way to customize your iPhone, without adding a lot of unnecessary bulk. Most bumper cases are made of plastic because the ones made of aluminum and other metals can negatively impact signal strength. The DRACO IV EVO bumper from DRACOdesign is a hybrid bumper which combines aluminum and polycarbonate to give you

California based EDGE design gives iPhone 4S owners who don’t want their phones to look like all the other iPhones out there, another way to customize them. Their Alfa case pairs an aluminum frame with a polymer band to create a unique look without compromising signal strength like some metal cases do. Let’s take a closer look.

Earphone Solutions recently provided a pair Westone Westone TS-1 earphones for review here on the Gadgeteer. Bill Henderson did an excellent review on the Westone 4 headphones, and I looked forward to giving these a spin. The TS-1 has a single driver, rather than the quad-drive of the Westone 4, but it adds a microphone so

Living in New Hampshire has its benefits, however, one annoyance is the frequent and sometimes prolonged power outages caused by trees falling on the power lines. Some residents invest in automatic generators, but my approach was a manual backup generator, saving about 2/3 thirds the cost. Using the ReadyBright Power Outage Lighting System by mrBeams, I

We’ve all heard of HD televisions and HD cameras, but what about an HD flashlight? My curiosity was aroused when I saw the Bushnell HD flashlight mentioned on a website. The writer talked about a square light beam and I just had to try one for myself to see if a flashlight could really earn the overused

Lately, I’ve gone for a more minimal approach with cases and covers for my iPad. I even tried using it completely caseless for a while, but I finally went back to the snap-on back cover after I dropped my iPad. I still haven’t added back the Smart Cover, but I wanted something to protect the

We mentioned the MK-802 Thumbstick (which BTW is now available in 1GB RAM) in May, now there’s an even cheaper option on the market (albeit for a slightly lower spec).
